If you don't know why Rachel Maddow is #1

[malaise]

listen to her discussion re Irma.

She is seriously good.

[hlthe2b]

1. Indeed... NBC's weather people (meteorologists) have all been excellent too

[elleng]

2. She's seriously VERY good, knows what she knows, what she doesn't know,

and what questions to ask, about ANYTHING.

[malaise]

5. That's why she's that good

She does not pretend to know what she doesn't know, but she operates like the first rate researcher she is - ask the right questions simply so that others also learn along with you

[RKP5637]

3. +++ 1,000,000 +++ n/t

[johnsonsnap]

4. Yo?

[malaise]

6. hehehe n/t

[longship]

7. I hope that they put the audio podcast up tonight.

Many Fridays they don't. And I have download limits that forgo video. No cable or broadband in the national forest.

[malaise]

9. Maybe someone can post an internet link

for you

[longship]

13. I subscribe, but they don't always post on Fridays.

I don't even know why they do it that way.

BTW, the audio podcast is perfect. It's the whole program (sans commercials) and it's only a 10MB download. Easy for us cellular INet folks in the back woods.



Hope you are well, my good friend. Keep dry.

[mopinko]

16. probably because they replay on saturday.

the probably hold it until after the rerun. i know that's how the video works on other days.

[Rhiannon12866]

34. The early Saturday repeat is being preempted by live hurricane coverage

And it looks like that's the only programming they're showing going forward.

[stopwastingmymoney]

8. Even my hubs thinks so

And he mostly hates it when I watch political tv

He commented how good she was the other night after watching her interview the NY AG

[malaise]

10. The truth is that she is better qualified than all of them

PhD Oxford is no joke and her other degrees are from Stanford.
I'd love to see her destroy Groper Don the Con in an interview

[thbobby]

11. Don loved Morning Joe

Damn sure wouldn't get near Rachel. Shows who the true journalist is and what a sad joke Joe was during the election.

Rachel is the best journalist I have ever seen and I am 60 and have followed politics most of my life.

[malaise]

20. You're right

but he's an idiot and she would expose him as a 'duncified' moron.

[blueinredohio]

12. I love Rachel, I said if I wasn't already married I would marry her

[FailureToCommunicate]

17. Ha! Take a number.

[Control-Z]

14. Funny you should post this.

I was thinking the same thing tonight. Which then made me think about the folks on DU who have said they can't stand her. Then I giggled and thought how lucky I am to not be threatened by strong, intelligent women. Being a woman might contribute to how I feel but there are still far too many women who do feel threatened, even on DU.

[malaise]

19. Funny how she isn't threatened when she asks questions of experts

on subjects she doesn't know.
I grew up with strong intelligent women (and men) and like you I am never threatened by intelligent women - the more the merrier

[thbobby]

21. I am just a dumb redneck man but

Strong intelligent women are so attractive. I can't imagine wanting a relationship (romance or friendship) with a docile, self-doubting women. Women in my life have always been smarter than me (granted I do not set the bar terribly high).

[lordsummerisle]

15. k&r n/t

[apkhgp]

18. I think I could listen to her talk about anything n/t

[monmouth4]

24. Me too and I think her careful articulation is so attractive and wonderful to listen to. n/t

[Enoki33]

22. Before she got her own show and was a regular on KO

l recall a friend commenting that she deserved her own time slot and that when it happened she would eventually be number one based solely on her meticulous research. He said too many relevant facts were missing from competing broadcasts. Boy was he right. She is a national treasure.

[malaise]

23. He nailed it

I love her approach to research

[hedda_foil]

28. The context she provides is phenomenal. No one else connects the dots like she does.

[Achilleaze]

38. + 1

republicans should tune in. Might shatter the ugly bubble they keep themselves in, and empower them to do something positive for America and Americans for once.

[Honeycombe8]

25. I missed it but will look for it. nt

[JHan]

26. Yep. K & R

Love her to bits

[relayerbob]

27. Rachel 2020

[JI7]

29. we really need her

[AgadorSparticus]

30. One of the most impressive things I find about Rachel that speaks to her brilliance

Is her ability to break down complex concepts and connect the dots for the lay person to understand. And she is a great orator which pulls you in and doesn't let go. She reminds me of the exceptional professors I have had in college that have made lasting impressions.

[malaise]

33. Precisely

Perfect

[True_Blue]

31. Love her!

She's the best investigative journalist on the planet!

[Gothmog]

32. I agree that Rachel is amazing

[Rhiannon12866]

35. David Letterman used to introduce her as "the smartest person in the world!"

[malaise]

36. She uses a line that I love

Tell me if I got that right? The smartest people want to get it right.

[Rhiannon12866]

37. She really can talk to anyone, no one should fear being on her show

All she wants is the truth - and she readily admits if she gets anything wrong.
